Yass (jass) is aPolish music style ofavant-garde jazz which originated in the late 1980s, that mixesjazz,improvised music,punk rock, andfolk. The style began with avant-garde jazz musicians from theTricity andBydgoszcz, where the jazz clubMózg became the unofficial 'home venue' for Yass performers, with its own label releasing a number of Yass productions.
The termYass was coined by bassist and guitaristTymon Tymański, clarinetist Mazzoll and guitaristTomasz Gwinciński, who wanted to stress the novelty of the new style. The first Yass album is generally regarded to beTańce bydgoskie byTrytony.[1]
Though it frequently crosses genres, Yass music can be broadly described as a frequently arrhythmic and highly improvised style of jazz. The most seminal period for Yass was in the 1990s, with many active groups performing and releasing albums, includingMiłość, Łoskot, Trytony, and Mazzoll & Arhythmic Perfection. A good overview of the Yass scene exists on the compilation albumCały ten Yass! released byJazz Forum magazine shortly after the genre's heyday.
